Apocalyptic in History and Tradition, Hardback Book

Apocalyptic in History and Tradition Hardback

Edited by John (University of Oxford, UK) Barton, Christopher Rowland

Part of the The Library of Second Temple Studies series

Hardback

Description

Apocalyptic themes have formed a significant part of the Jewish and Christian religions.

This is becoming more widely recognized, but it is the pervasiveness of such themes in art, literature and history which contributes most to this collection of essays, moving from the study of biblical apocalyptic to its role in wider culture.

The interest in apocalypticism which was prompted by the turn of the millennium should not be a temporary phase in intellectual life since, as these essays indicate, the wide influence of apocalypticism deserves a central place in theological and historical study.
